A Maine teenager has been missing for over a month now after she was last seen leaving home and walking into the woods, according to police.
Stefanie Damron, 14, was reported missing by her family on Sept. 24, in the town of New Sweden, Maine. She was last seen the previous day, “walking out of her house and into the woods located on the West Road in New Sweden,” according to several official statements from the Maine State Police Department.
In a recent statement released on social media and local station WAGM-TV, her parents said that “Stefanie got into an argument with her sister while we were gone and walked off.”
“We live a half mile back in the woods and our kids are very comfortable in their surroundings so there was nothing to raise flags the first few hours,” they added, concluding the note by writing, “We just want our baby home.”
Maine State Police say that all available resources have been utilized in order to find Stefanie, including collaborations with the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit and the FBI.
However, in an update on Oct. 23, police said that despite their “extensive” efforts, Stefanie remained missing.
PEOPLE reached out to the Maine Police Department for comment but did not receive an immediate response.
New Sweden is located in Aroostook County about 200 miles from the Canadian border. It has a population of just over 500.
According to police, Stephanie, who was 13 at the time of her disappearance, is 5 ft. tall, weighs 130 lbs. and has green eyes and shoulder-length brown hair. She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a long sleeve blue shirt, and black Harley Davidson hiking boots.
Maine police ask that anyone with information about Stefanie’s whereabouts contact the Maine State Police at 1-800-924-2261 or 207-532-5400 and always 911.
